(no subject)
We have a new place to live and are going to be moved on July 1. It is in South Buffalo and is a good place to be. It is a little bit bigger (or so it seems with no furniture) a lot cheaper, a lot nicer, and a lot quieter and less crime-ridden of a neighborhood. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm still bummed about the stuff with Austin, but we talked a lot last night and I think he's going to be okay, whether he has to stay with Laura or not. It sort of seems like everything is going to be okay for the most part at the moment, but we'll see. TMi is really boring and hard to stay awake for, but my sleep study is coming up on saturday, and then my b-day party is the next day. The party, btw, is more of a family party, but if anyone wants to come and hang out, they will be welcome. There will probably be a bigger, more friend oriented party with a fire and stuff after Heidi gets back from Illinois on the 22 of June. Trying to get into Rob's shop more and more. A little bummed that the girl who is apprenticing there just kind of decided that she is an artist now and got her license. She absolutely does not have enough experience to do good tattoos yet, regardless of her art-skill, but at least Rob has limited her to tattooing only people that she knows and only with his permission. I know he plans to not keep her around forever anyway. I'm also jealous that her dad is a super-rich bank executive and bought her thousands of dollars worth of equipment. In all honesty, though, I don't really have a problem with her as a person. She's pretty cool, but I think that she's going about things the wrong way with tattooing and it bothers me because I've spent too much time around the HOD guys and the attitude of really learning the history and every detail possible about what you're doing before you really start tattooing. I just think its best to focus on learning as much as possible, not just rushing in because you think your art is dope and you want to make some money. Not my decision, though, but I'm definitely going to make sure that I'm confident in what I'm doing before I start really doing anything. In the meantime I practice painting, observe, and hope to one day have enough free money to start saving for equipment. Maybe not the 600 dollar chair that her dad bought her or the 450 dollar ink set separated by style and subject matter (so lame and amateur seeming), but, some decent equipment. Hockey has been good so far. I'm so sick of people who love Pittsburgh and I'm enjoying seeing Crosby get shut out. I'm not looking forward to moving my 55 gallon fish tank. I'm not looking forward to getting up at 5am for work, but I have to so I better get to bed.
